The current code is a no-op, because all it can do is 'dev_kfree_skb(NULL)' Revert the test to free skb, if not NULL. Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx> --- This patch is purely speculative. The 'if (...)' could also be removed completely if we refactor the code and return directly at the beginning of the function. Or the 'return -ENOMEM' should be 'err = -ENOMEM; goto done;' in order to avoid a mixup of goto and direct return. --- drivers/staging/wfx/sta.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/staging/wfx/sta.c b/drivers/staging/wfx/sta.c index 688586e823c0..e14da8dce388 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/wfx/sta.c +++ b/drivers/staging/wfx/sta.c @@ -906,7 +906,7 @@ static int wfx_upload_beacon(struct wfx_vif *wvif) wfx_fwd_probe_req(wvif, false); done: - if (!skb) + if (skb) dev_kfree_skb(skb); return ret; } -- 2.20.1
